I have yet to make as much holiday progress at home as I’d like (still stuck between two), but instead of rushing, forcing, stressing I decided to move things along by visiting Andrew’s wonderful friend Nisha at her little flower studio Fleurish on the Hill. If you’ve ever visited the Stumptown Cafe on 12th she does the big and beautiful arrangements that you see when you walk in. I always admire her work, so I was really excited to bring something home for the holidays.

All I knew is that I wanted something holiday-ish and branchy to fit into my giant Lenox vase and in just a few days I had this gorgeousness to set the holiday mood. Oh, how it smells of Christmas! There are so many great things tucked away inside but I am suddenly so fascinated by those eucalyptus pods hanging over the edge.
